SteamOS is what keeps the Steam Deck and Lenovo Legion Go S as some of the best handheld gaming PCs, despite the former’s outdated hardware. Valve’s own operating system is also set to power the forthcoming Steam Machine. Though it’s a Linux-based OS in its own right, with its own updates, and a big one…
Crimson Desert has finally arrived and, upon contact with the gaming public writ large, appears to be a mixed bag—we gave it an 80 in our Crimson Desert review, with our own Mollie Taylor dubbing it both “a game for the sickos” and “full of archaic design choices that only make sense when you remember…
Yesterday, Bungie revealed that both of Marathon’s endgame activities, Ranked mode and the raid-like Cryo Archive, would be limited to the weekend. More specifically, Cryo Archive runs from Friday to Monday, while Ranked runs from Saturday to Tuesday each week. This tight schedule, plus overlap between the two modes, has already proven to be divisive….
You’ll first try arm wrestling in Crimson Desert during the Chapter 1 main quest in which you arrive in Hernand. Where Rumors Gather sees you head into the tavern to try and track down info about your scattered Greymane comrades, and I guess the best way to do that is try some random-ass minigame? Priorities,…
Reviewing games can be kinda weird. When I’m playing stuff for personal reasons, there’s no deadline. No definitive date that I have to roll credits or reach 100% completion by. It’s just me and the journey. However long that takes. But I am also employed by one such website called PC Gamer, and sometimes I…
Crimson Desert launched today and has so far reached a peak of 239,045 concurrent players on Steam, which is pretty respectable for a game no one seemed to care much about two months ago. The launch hasn’t been without its problems though, and chief among these is a bug preventing players from claiming their pre-order…
Steam kicked off its Spring sale today and as usual, so much of my wishlist is on sale that I’m paralysed by choice. I probably won’t buy anything. But I do know for certain that if I didn’t already own Fallout: New Vegas I’d definitely be buying that, because it’s going for a measly 99…
You may have heard of a little RPG series called Ultima, which was so successful in the ’80s and ’90s that series creator Richard Garriott earned enough money to travel to the bottom of the ocean and also the International Space Station. Part of the success of his game studio, Origin Systems, was due to…
The 2017 survival horror game Darkwood is really good and creepy as hell, an accomplishment that’s doubly impressive because it’s played from a fairly distant top-down perspective: There’s no up-close gore or monsters jump-scaring into your face, but hoobie-doobie is it intense. A sequel is in development, but it’s not being made by original developer…
If you’re into Genshin Impact and The Seven Deadly Sins manga series, then oh boy do I have good news for you. Netmarble’s spun up its own Genshin-inspired gacha RPG set in the anime universe, and of course the gacha part of the equation means we’ve got Seven Deadly Sins: Origin codes to go with…
